Court rules Pentagon can blacklist Anthropic for refusing to enable Claude features

Publisher preview

“Overly constrained AI models” could cause military operations to fail, judges say. A US appeals court today approved the Department of Defense’s blacklisting of Anthropic technology. Judges decided the Trump administration had authority to blacklist Anthropic for withholding certain AI features from the military even if Anthropic had no malicious intent. In a 2-1 ruling issued by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a panel of judges said the “case raises profoundly difficult questions about the appropriate military uses of an almost unimaginably powerful new…

Trump’s China rivalry and “AI race” delusion may endanger US, experts say

Publisher preview

Trump focus on winning “AI race” may deter China from sharing safety intel. This week, the US and China, the two world leaders on AI, finally started talks meant to keep the whole world safe from emerging safety risks. But whether meetings between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping can lead to a reliable global governance framework for AI depends on how much the fierce rivals are actually willing to cooperate. It’s clear Trump wants it to seem like discussions are going well. Before Trump and Xi meet on Thursday and…

Partnering with Accenture on embedded evaluation

Publisher preview

We're partnering with Accenture on independent evaluation of frontier AI. This is an important step toward the commitment, made in our CEO’s essay “We Must Pace the Frontier,” to embed evaluators within Anthropic. The partnership will be led by Faculty, Accenture’s specialist AI business, and will include evaluating and red-teaming models, conducting alignment assessments, and testing model safeguards. Accenture helps businesses and governments deploy AI across many industries. Their understanding of how enterprises use AI in practice informs their safety approach, and they will bring that perspective to evaluating our…

Introducing the Life Sciences Verification Program

Publisher preview

Today, we are introducing the Life Sciences Verification Program (LSVP), which gives life science professionals access to our Mythos, Opus, and Sonnet models with a refined set of safeguards more permissive for biology-related work. We have already onboarded dozens of organizations through an early-access program, and are now opening applications to the broader life science community (apply here). The program is launching in beta, initially for teams and institutions. We will continue to improve the program and expand access to individual Pro and Max plans over time. The LSVP is…

The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead

Publisher preview

In July 2026, during internal cybersecurity evaluations, OpenAI models circumvented controls designed to isolate them from the internet and compromised parts of OpenAI’s internal research infrastructure and Hugging Face’s systems⁠. The incident occurred during cybersecurity evaluations of several OpenAI models, and was primarily driven by a highly capable, internal-only research model comparable in scale to GPT‑5.6 Sol. The models, operating under reduced safeguards, took actions that were misaligned with the goals of their assigned tasks—they communicated through unauthorized channels, exploited vulnerabilities in shared infrastructure, gained internet access, and accessed third-party…

Strengthening democratic oversight in national security

Publisher preview

OpenAI is launching a new initiative to help democratic oversight bodies develop the expertise and tools they need to understand and oversee government use of AI for national security. AI is changing how democratic governments protect their people. It can help stop cyberattacks, secure critical infrastructure, detect threats earlier, and give public servants a clearer picture in a crisis. Used well, these tools can strengthen national security. Democratic oversight helps ensure that uses of public power remain accountable to the people they serve. As AI makes national security work faster…

The Defender’s Window

Publisher preview

The OpenAI-Hugging Face incident⁠ was a watershed moment for cybersecurity because it gave a peek into how the capabilities of a typical threat actor will evolve in upcoming months. I’ve spoken with many organizations over the past few weeks, and one theme is clear: they know they need to fundamentally uplevel their cybersecurity practices with unprecedented speed. In this post, I’ll share what we’re doing to defend OpenAI, concrete steps other organizations can take today, and why now is the time to act. AI models developed around the world are…

Expanding Daybreak as the Cyber Defense Window Narrows

Publisher preview

Introducing new ways to unlock advanced cyber capabilities together with GPT‑5.6‑Cyber, our latest cybersecurity-specific model. The cybersecurity world is rapidly changing—threat actors will increasingly use AI to conduct cyberattacks at unprecedented speed and scale, including in fully autonomous ways. As these capabilities spread, defenders have a narrowing window to prepare. Our answer is to put frontier intelligence in the hands of trusted defenders everywhere before attackers deploy offensive AI capabilities at scale. We’re expanding OpenAI Daybreak with two access tiers designed to give approved defenders the right capabilities for their…

Responding to the next frontier of critical cyber capabilities

Publisher preview

Cybersecurity is rapidly changing as models become more capable in ways that can both strengthen cyberdefenses and enable attacks at unprecedented speed and scale. Our latest internal evaluations of Astra, one of our upcoming models, over the past few days indicate significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity. These results, in addition to expert assessments, have led us to conclude last night that we cannot rule out critical cyber capabilities under our Preparedness Framework⁠. We are sharing this because we believe it’s important to be transparent with the public and…

Update on August 26, 2026: Read our findings from the Hugging Face incident⁠ and the steps we’re taking to strengthen security and model alignment. Since the early days of the incident response, we have been working with external advisors, including CrowdStrike, to validate our understanding of the actions the models took within our own network as well as those of Hugging Face and impact to other third parties. We are also working with METR and Redwood Research to conduct a third-party assessment of the model behavior observed during the incident,…
